TILLMAN PARALYZES THE NO TARIES PUBLIC. Their Cuiuiuluwions Declared Void in a Proclamation? This Branch of the Gov . "I .*? eroment to be "Purified"' at Once. Governor Tillinau has the faculty of doing surprising things at the most unexpected times. - His latest move'iik quite a remarkable one. He has jumped upon the notaries public of the State, and bringing his official axe around with one long swoop, takes off the official heads of all those now holding commissions as notaries in the State. The head of eve/jr man whose commission dates further back than 1889 falls in the basket The Governor puts his surprising ac tion on the score of a desire to purify this branch of the Government, but there is a practical result -which will follow that will net a good revenue to theState Treasury; whieh 4-he Gov-, ernor may or may not nave consider- \ ed. Every man who receives a nota ry's commission has to pay "83.12 for it, and when the large number of ap plicants that are certain to come, ap-'? pear, the State will of necessity reap a revenue of several thousand dollars out of the action of the Governor. When the Governor was asked yes terday for a statement of the reasons actuating him in his action, he said that his proclamation fully explained everything that influenced him. The proclamation issued yesterday is as follows: ^Whereas the office of Notary Pub lic is one of respoasibility requiring intelligence and good character for its proper' administration, and whereas the tenure of the office has had no limit under the law other than 4tDu- - ring the pleasure of the Governor," so that all those who have at any time received the appointment are still hold ing and exercising the functions of office, notwithstanding "many of them have lost their commissions; and whereas there have been charges of unfitness and maladministration. "Now therefore I, B. R. Tillman, Governor of the State of South Caroli na, in order to purify the public ser vice, and make clear the title of every person claiming this office, do issue this, my proclamation, and by the au thority vested in fee under the stat utes I hereby declare that 'every com mission as Notary Public issued prior to January 1, 1889, shall expire on January 1, 1894, and said officers shall become vacant. v ApllicatiCns for appointment or reappointment must be made in writing by the applicant, and must be endorsed by a member of the General Assembly, by the mem bers of the bar, or by not less th*n twenty citizens of the community. Some of the men whose commissions thus become null and void after the first of the year have held them for forty years. ? State. The Hoodoo Doctor. Trial Justice C. P. Brunson was engaged all day last Friday in the preliminary hearing of the State against "Dr." Peter Davis, of Colum bia, a cross between a gorilla and a badger and a lineal descend ant of | one of the witches of "Macbeth." - The charge upon which the defendant was arraigned being "voodoism." The prosecutor was a Hungarian of the Knott's Mill section, named Adolphus Hulob, who testified as follows: That owing to the sickness of two of his horses, and the death of one, he consulted a neigh bor a? to the best course to pursue to ward getting the animals well. This neighbor advised him to consult the defendant. Soon afterward he went to Columbia and called . on "Dr." Peter Davis, and asked him his advise. Deponent said By signing a contract agreeing to pay him (Davis) $55 he would give hLm medicines etc., that would not oh cure his horses, but also keep his rami ly and all his stock in perfect health. Hulob paid the doctor SI 7 for which he received roots and different kinds of medicines, which he gave hi? family and stock accord ing to direction. Nine days afterward he lost 27 hogs, and his wife and sis ter-in-law were made very sick. At his next visit to the skilfull doctor he received a loadstone for which he i paid $5. This he was to put whiskey on once a week, while doing which, he was to raise one hand and opetf and shut the fingers thereof. The etfect of which ceremony would keep away the enemy who was poisoning hi3 horses. At one time he was presented with a gourd- tsio feet long. He was to cut off the necks and scatter about his yard at 12 o'clock in the night the seed of the gourd. This would prove a most effectual sanitary measure for his chickens, geese, and ^ack^sses. He was also the recipient of sortie load stone powders, which after being put in the gourd and moistened, were to be rubbed on the faces \f Hulob and his family, also as a sanitary measure. At his next visit to the Eminent M. D. Hulob received 3 pieces of load-stone which he was to carry in his pocket for nine (lays, after first wettingHhem with a strong smelling liquid very easy to obtain. This was to neutralize malaria and make witches keep at a ; distance. Davis was put in jail to await trial in default of $200 bond. ? 1 Orangeburg Enterprise. 1 - ? r~er- ? . ? i t ' ? ? j ? * WRECKED IN NORFOLK- 5 THR*E FREIGHT TRAINS IN ONE HEAP OF DEBRIS. \ ' . s An Open Switch Causes a Feariul Collision? An Eufcinu Crut*l?etl to Pieces ami . Flung on Top of Freight Cam ? Three Men Killed and Seyt rnl Badly Wounded? Died (pipping the Lcyer. } ? \ Norfolk, Ya, Oct. 31. ? A rail road wreck occurred on the Norfolk Terminal Road near the Norfolk street car stables at an early hour this i morning. Hundreds of persons went ! to tlie scene of the accident during the day. It w^j-i a remarkable sight to many, who looked upon it, who had > never before seen the result of a rail road collision. Cars were broken to pieces and thrown here and there, one engine badly wrecked and another in almost a shapeless mass and thrown on top of cars yet on the track. Ttfo men had been killed, others sent to the retreat for. the sick, while stHl others less seriously hurt were standiig or sitting around the wreck. The collison occurred between 5:30 and 6 o'clock, and was due to an open switch, said to have been left mis placed by the conductor of the last train that had passed through it . An unusual feature of the wreck is that three trails were involved, in stead of two, as usual in such acci dents. A long line of coal cars, with out an engine, was standing on the centre of three tracks and a freight train was approaching from Lambert's Point, while a coaf train was going to ward Lambert's Point, each engi neer keeping to his right hand. The train bound for Lambert's Point must have been going at a good rate of speed judging from the extent of the wreck. Instead of its keeping on the main track, the open switch let it en to the centre track and it crashed into the line of loaded cars standing there. The engineer ot- this unfortu nate train seems1 not to have seen the alarm signal on the switch, but he quickly realized his terrible situation and all in his power to stay the speed f of his engine. He was, however, buried in the mass of debris under the largest portion that was left of h^ engine, and was found with his hands on his reversing lever. He had to be dug out and death was no doubt instantaneous. When the engine of this train structthe coal care it threw them to both mc lee of the track, and the engine, that is a big portion of its wreck, rode up on top of the cars left in front of it. The traiu comiug from Lambert's Point ran into the coal car that had been thrown by the other collision across its track and then ensued a secoml wreck, the engine of this train being badly damaged, its tender broken to pieces and its cab broken and overturned. The engineer and fireman of this train jumped for their lives, the former, E. H. Reams of this city, escaping with slight injury to an arm and leg, and the fireman, A. A. Blankenship, receiving little or no injury. The conductor, P. A. Jordan of this city, was in his caboose at the time and was thrown against a table, | hurting himself about the abdomen. The fireman of the train in the first collision, Ed McGuiie of Crewe, Va., was very badly scalded and hurt, and was taken to the retreat for the sick, where he died this afternoon at 5 o'clock. William Phield, a flagman, had his collar bone broken, and a negro nam ed Ed Bland of Portsmouth, Va., em ployed at Lambert's Point, and who was 011 his way there to wo^k-r-he was taking a ride on the down train ? was so badly injured that he died near the scene of the wreck. The engineer who was killed, Thomas Andrews of Petersburg, was a single man and about 30 years of age. He was badly scalded and crushed about the breast. His father arrived here today and will carry the remains to Petersburg this afternoon. There was talk at the scene of the wreck today of other persons being under the debris, but nothing definite as to the missing persons could be as certained. Squire Green, colored, a brakeman on the train bound to I^ambert's Point, was injured and had to be re moved to the retreat for the sick. He is very seriously hurt. A Moonshine Infonner Murdered.

HUDSON. r ANOTHER DECISION ON THE DISPEN x SARY LAW. Judge Wallace Artirms Tta Constitutionality ?A Punishment ^""or Llnuor^Stlllng ? Eight Lawyers Try t? Prove the Evans Act Uncoustltlon&l? They Failed Utterly? Judge Wallace Say* the Law is Abating the Evils of the Liquor Traffic. Anderson, & C., Nov. 1.? Judge Wallace has just delivered an oral opinion on the bench, upholding the constitutionality of the Dispensary Act. The case was an indictment against John O'Donnell for gelling liquor and keeping a place for selling liquor. O'Donnell was represented by Messrs. Murray Watkins, Tribble & Prince, Blease & Blease and Whitner & SiinjHjon. .The State was represented by Solicitor Ansel and Mr. J. E. Breazeale. . ' When the ca^e was called yester day afternoon tiie defence interposed a demurrer to 'quash the indictment on three grounds: first, that the sell ing of liquor was no offense under the Dispensary Act; second, that if it was an oflense, jat6 punishment was pro vided; aad third, that the Act was an A&fto raise revenue and was uncon stitutional. Long and strong arguments were made to sustain these grounds by Messrs Prince, Tribble, Cole Blease, Murray and Whitner. They made extensive \ use of Judge Hudson's Columbia decision and argued theil^ side learnedly and well. Against them came arguments by Mr. Breazeale and Mr. Ansel, which were clear and brief and. confined strictly to the law. The arguments on both a^des occupied the evening session yesterday and part of this fore noon. Judge Wallace at once delivered orally a carefully prepared and unmis takabie-^ecision, overruling the de murrer and sustaining the Dispensary Act as clearly constitutional. He held that selling liquor, except as provided in the Dispensary Act, is an offense against the law. Second, that the Act makes such an offenses* misdemeanor and that the court can* inflict a penalty therefor, under Sec tion 2653 of the Statutes. Third, that the Act 14 clearly constitutional. Iu deciding the third *point, he was very emphatic that the purpose of the Legislature in passing the Act was to restrict the sale of liquor. He opposed Judge Jiudson's view that the purpose was to raise revenue and held that the raising of revenue was only incidental He held that the Act was one to regu late and restrict the traffic in liquors for the public good .and was without doubt a proper exercise ot the police power of the State. He said that most of the objections to it were as to the question of the wisdom or the un wisdom of the Act, with which the courts have nothing to do; that was for the people, who by the ballot-box can correct mistakes in legislation, , if they think there aiy mistakes. As for him, he was - clearly of the opinion that the Act was honestly iu tened to diminish drunkennes and the other evils arising from the liquor traffic, and he was bound to say that from his own observation it was ac complishing its purpose. The motion was overruled, notice of intention to appeal was given and, on motion, the case was continued to await the decision of the Supreme Court. DISPENSARY LAW IN COURT. Juilgc Wallace Molds the Act Constitution al, Kxcej?t in Two Points. Anderson, S. Nov. 1. ? The dispensary law came under the consid eration of the Court of General Ses sions yesterday afternoon in the case lot the State vs. John vO'ponnell, charged with violation of tne dispen sary law. The defense moved to quash the indictment, on the ground that there is no punishment provided ? for a single sale, and also on the ground that the act itself is unconstitu tional. Strong arguments were made in behalf of the defense by Messrs. Tribble, Prince, Cole. L. Blease, E. B. Murray and Maj. Whitner. The State's side of the akse was represented by Solicitor Ansel and John E. Brea zeale. Judge Wallace, after consider ing the question, reserved his decis ion. Maj Whitner made a particu larly strong argument. In the Court ot 9e?sions yesterday M. C. Darby was tried for njurder. He was represented by Tribble A Prince and Murray & Watkins, and was acquitted. judge Wallace's decision. Anderson, S. C., Nov. 1.? Judge Wallace, after hearing further argu ment this morning on the dispensary law, held it constitutional, except the clause as to searching suspected place* and the provision forbidding railroads to bring liquor into the State.

One package was addressed to Alex. Argoe and labeled "tomatoes." The other j package was marked to Daniel Barr, and was shipped in a small tobacco ! box. Cain was very much indignant when the reporter for the Enterprise addressed him as a "spy" he said he was no "spy" but acknowledged that he "sneaked" around when hunting for whiskey.
